There somewhere someone was so sad,
He formed an ocean of tears;
Elsewhere, Ocean walked, knocked and sucked so many.
There were so many oceans of tears.
The Big ocean and the small ones mingled
Sadness crossed all bounds?
The waters are salinized. . .
It was indeed a catastrophic start this year. Earthquakes, Storms, Volcanoes, Floods, Tornadoes, Tsunamis?Furies of nature, merely different names, different elements. It angers me to see the dance of death in South Asia. If only we had a foolproof world where there was no dread of calamities. Wishful thinking! What can we do to prevent them? Marshal more warning signals for next time? But what of those who never had a next time? Their lives would never be the same. People all over the world share their grief and needless to say all are trying to reach out and help in little ways and immense. Perhaps that is all other vulnerable creatures of the same genus can do?lend a hand.
Let there be more empathy, compassion and concern in the present circumstances in the world!
For all those who survived let them have the strength to combat this oceanic anguish!
Let God consecrate all!
Sharing the grief,
Manjit
